Editing Services offered by Naomi
SHORTER LENGTH PROJECTS
- For editing services regarding shorter works I offer complete editing packages at $100 for every 5,000 words.
BOOK PROJECTS
- If you would like an evaluation and critique in which I will point out the most important strengths and weaknesses of your manuscript (a good way to learn where your work stands and for revision) along with highlighting text and suggesting specific possible solutions, then I charge $475 for every 25,000 words of manuscript I evaluate. (*The average charge per hour as stated by the Writers Guild of America is $57/hr. My fee works out to be just under $24/hr.)
- A complete editing package includes an evaluation and critique plus line-by-line editing. This means after I critique the work, you revise it and then I will edit each line of the revised piece, straightening out syntax, correcting grammar and spelling, cutting and occasionally rewriting parts. For this I charge $1,425 for every 25,000 words. (Note: An average book of 250 pages contains about 70,000 words.)
*Rates are negotiable depending on the project.
